Stauffenberg bomb plot[edit]

"Jünger was involved in the fringes of the Stauffenberg bomb plot - not directly but as a figure of intellectual inspiration. "

His Children?[edit]

Can anyone find any printed info on the names of his two children and their birth/(death) dates?

DELETED -- found it...

ERNST JUNGER, CONTRADICTORY GERMAN AUTHOR WHO WROTE ABOUT WAR, IS DEAD AT 102 David Binder The New York Times, February 18, 1998

...

The New Yorker[edit]

Not sure if this New Yorker article would be useful for this biography. Just in case it is, I am providing a link:

Ross, Alex. (June 26, 2023) Ernst Jünger’s Narratives of Complicity. The New Yorker.

In one small paragraph the author, Ross, announces: "New York Review Books has brought out a fine new translation, by Tess Lewis, of Jünger’s 1939 novel, On the Marble Cliffs..." ---Steve Quinn (talk) 13:54, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
